The guitar belongs to Stratman323 from this very forum. It's a VERY nice example and worth the asking price in my opinion. You are basically getting an ST80 spec guitar with a poly finish for a lot less than you woud pay for an ST80.

The grain on the ash body on this one is particuarly nice. If you were to shop around you might find one a little cheaper, but I doubt you would find a better one for the money!

I also think the fact the guitar featured in an international magazine makes this one a particuarly good investment as well.

I would have thought so too, but I have been able to buy quite a few guitars below the going rate on ebay or dealer websites. Just have cash handy and always be looking for a good deal. To me it's just not fun to pay full whack to someone who wants top price

I agree, thats a nice f - in guitar, don't forget that money's for spending. (especially on sweet gits) + you already know that with this seller it will be stress free which in my universe is money in the bank.
